Desenvolvemos um aplicativo com spring, jpa, tomcat, maven, etc.

Localmente na minha máquina do desenvolvedor, tudo funciona bem, mas quando implantamos o aplicativo em um servidor Linux, recebo a seguinte exceção:

A exceção aparece no meu código depois de inicializar o banco de dados quando eu chamo este método:

org.springframework.orm.jpa.AbstractEntityManagerFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet()

Não foi possível encontrar o problema. Ajuda é apreciada! obrigado
